Wear deodorant to keep you smelling fresh, especially if you’ll be participating in gym class or an after-school sport. Aiming to wash your hair every other day is a good way to keep your hair clean and healthy. Look for a facial cleanser that’s gentle on your skin and won’t clog pores.
Braided pigtails are a popular cute hairstyle, and so is a braided ponytail. Pull your hair into a side ponytail with a headband. If you have long hair, use a clip to pull a section of hair to the side. Shorter hair looks great with waves or curls in it.
If you love wearing dresses, try finding some with lace on them for a cute look. A pair of jeans looks great with a flowy pastel-colored top. You could wear printed shorts, like a pair with stripes or flowers on them, with a solid colored shirt that matches. A colorful skirt would also look cute with a form-fitting shirt.
If you already have a jean jacket, you can decorate it yourself. Sweaters in light blues, pinks, grays, and other pastel colors look cute. There are lots of printed sneakers that you can find in shoe stores or online, and comfortable flats are another great shoe option.
A light foundation or concealer, mascara, and lip gloss are good beauty supplies to use. Choose makeup that’s right for your skin tone. Remember to wash or wipe the face skin and to apply a moisturizer before applying any makeup. When applying makeup, work with thin layers and blend it well.
Try wearing a pair of your favorite earrings with a colorful or sparkly bracelet. Wearing different rings on your fingers is a great way to complement your outfit. A unique necklace looks great with a dress or V-neck shirt. If you wear glasses, consider picking out frames with a cute design or color to them.
Decorate things like your binders and notebooks by using duct tape, stickers, or collage. Turn new or old supplies like mirrors, pencil cases, and backpacks into cute accessories by getting crafty.
Use jewelry, scarves, and shoes to make your outfit more unique. Get your uniform tailored so that it fits you perfectly. If allowed, wear unique belts or sweaters over your uniform to personalize your outfit.
For example, if you’re worried about a big test that’s coming up, focus your energy on studying lots and telling yourself that you’re going to do great. Use positive thinking to improve your mood, not to pretend to be happy. If there’s a bigger issue going on in your life, like you’re feeling depressed or are dealing with bullying, reach out to a parent or other adult that you trust for help and when its fixed, you’ll feel better.
You can show confidence by standing with a straight back, smiling, and openly engaging with others. For example, if you’re getting ready to give a presentation to the class and are feeling nervous, remember that you know a lot about your topic or are really good at answering people’s questions to give yourself some confidence.
Being cute also means not taking part in gossip about others. If you hear friends talking about someone, try to think of how that person feels and see things from their perspective. If you don’t join in the gossip, this doesn’t mean that you won’t fit in with the group. People aren’t likely to get mad at you for trying to be nice to others.
For example, you don’t need to wear dresses just because you’ve been told they’re cute. If you love wearing pants, wear pants! There are tons of ways to turn pants into a cute outfit.
Smiling will automatically help improve your mood and make you feel happier, too!
Greet people with a smile when speaking to them. Being polite also means avoiding language that hurts others and actively listening when someone is talking to you. Be polite and show respect to your teachers by showing up on time for class and not talking to other students when a teacher is talking.
Use friendly body language, such as having your body facing the person you’re talking to and giving them your full attention by putting your phone away.
After-school activities are a great way to get to know other people and to show others your unique and cute personality. You don’t have to constantly be chatting with people — it’s more important to form meaningful relationships.
If one of your classmates is struggling in a subject, offer to help them learn the material by starting a study group. You could even have a goal of getting to know 1 new person each week.
